Honestly, it's kinda unnerving seeing a shoppers this big...

No frills is moving or has moved into a couple of areas One is in the west end by Best buy. Also H&W new location in St Albert is looking to open in a couple of months.

So the site on 109th has a Pagnotta sign on it and a drill rig on it as I drove by this morning. Looking forward seeing what's going in there.

Nice to see stuff happening on 109th close to Whyte.

No reverse image search results. Maybe an unannounced project?

Love looking at those old dt pictures and trying to figure out which buildings are still there.

From what I can tell: Telephone building, McLeod building, obv the Hotel Mac, the World Trade Centre building, + whatever that building is in the bottom right corner (didn't realize it was that old).

Anyone know what that building is on what looks like the site of the Westin is currently?

The Westin replaced our old Post Office Building - but the clock is still there on the northwest corner of hotel property.

While not everything there in the past was great, there were some beautiful buildings that should have been kept. There was and still to much of tear down mentality here that negatively affects our city, particularly downtown and the older areas nearby. Many other cities at least had the good sense to keep their beautiful old court houses.

A 3 plex. Wonder if this is worth EDC's time?

That stretch is going to look so different in the next 2-3 years with all the houses being torn down and the multi-unit buildings going up.
